What do you think about police series. Because there exist a lot, The Experts, NCIS, Criminal Esprit, Secret and Lies…. Do you enjoy it or not ? Why ?

I like this series theme, but not all… I think that the actor can really made us enjoy or not the series. For example, with NCIS (yes I’m fan ), firstly there only where the simple, with, principally, Gibbs, Abby, Dinozo, Magy and Dr Malard. Then, they create NCIS Los Angeles, with Henrietta (alias “Ety”), Callen, Sam, Kensi, Deeks, Eric and Nell. And now, we have the third NCIS, New Orleans. We also have new personage : Pride and his team, Lasalle, Brody, Dr Loreta and Sebastian. I needed time to like New Orleans. For me, the game of the personage of Pride was to different and not special like Ety or Gibbs.

This is the same with The Experts, they create lot of expansion with Manhattan Experts, Miami Experts. They develops the concept into different place.

Do you think that, when a police series is good, they want to develop it too much and after many developing, they forget the real things that made the first one good ?

I like detective series but not so much the "police" series that you've quoted. I liked the Wire but mostly I love English detectives : Sherlock, Morse, Endeavour, Lewis, Foyle's war, Luther, George Gently, Vera, Shetland. The one police series I really recommend is Happy Valley.

Whilst I'm here can whoever reads this ask the group to bring ear phones to class on Thursday just in case there aren't enough at the CEPE for everyone. Thanks

I don't look anymore.... I did an overdose. I even feel like he is inventing anything and everything... The number derivatives of ncis or experts... Then now they even mix fantastic and detective, they destroyed the film sleppy hollow with this serie...

The subject is well Julie. I like the police series. But only when they are well done. Experts are the one, I prefer compared to others. They exist several but I find that the characters play well, that the stories are well found and it makes you want to watch. When there is nothing on TV I watch the police series and I'm never disappointed because we always want to know the end.

I am not an addict. I don't like a lot of police series because I think there are many different and it's always the same story. For exemple, with "Les experts in Miami" or "Les experts in Nouvelle Orléans". It's simple. When I'm watching TV, I skip.

However, I love "Monk". It's a great series because the main actor is very very very good.

I'm not a fan of police series but i used to watch them because my mother is just crazy about detective and police series aha. However Angélique i don't think police series are "sordid" except "Criminal Minds" which involves many psychopaths, rapists, cannibals and so on and so forth! Indeed i really think that most of the detective and police series are quite funny or at least there is always one funny character. I really like also Monk, Morse but also Major Crime and White Collar.

I tend to dislike many of the american Series (except HBO) because they don't allow you to think and they explain everything as though you are stupid. In many of the English detective series you can try to work out who did the deed and how they did it. They are more an interactive puzzle with twists and turns.

I am fond of the police series, I love criminal minds, my favorite or : law & Order: Special Victims Unit, "les experts". I like investigations and suspense. I like too “Pretty little liars” It's a little more girly series. There are five girls who are investigating about about the death of one of their friends, it's very cool. I love to be scared

Pretty Little Liars is my favorite series !!!!! I love it !!! The suspense is huge !!! What season are you ???

Hi M1 people I like polices series even though I don't watch a lot of them. Criminal Minds is cool although I'm not actually following the show 'cause I'm affraid it might be a bit repetitive. However I watch Gotham which is a police show, following Jim Gordon's journey to become GCPD commissionner.

I like Pretty Little Liars too, the girls are gorgeous but I have like 4 or 5 seasons to watch in order to catch up.

As I said in my series presentation, I love the series Castle, for me it is one of the best crime series !!!I saw Pretty Little Liars, i liked watching it but it is now the same type as crime series. It is not for the same public, it is for young people (specially for girls !!)

Though I loved the series, I was truly disappointed by the end... !

I only watched the series when I was in Angouleme and it was on TV on a Monday or Tuesday night. I found it quite fun but I obviously missed a lot of episodes. Same with the Mentalist.

You should try again, even if there are too many episodes for both series !

Mentalist is also a series that I like. The principal actor plays well and it's nice to watch but I have not followed all the episodes so I don't know the whole story .... so I just watch from time to time when this is broadcast at the television. This series diverts me.

I usually hate all these police series.. They are on all channels and for a long time and I feel that all the episodes are similar.. Nevertheless, two police series stand out: Twin Peaks and True Detective. These are short series, the story takes place on a single season.I really recommend them
